Is tickling all about SEX????

[InsnlyTklshF]

I know that for me when tickled by friends it isn't at all a turn on as it is when tickled by someone I like or attracted too ... If you are with someone you love I know the tickling is quite different.

Is it always a turn on? Is there always sex involved? ( I know there isn't ) If two people get together you know what you're getting together for ... "tickling" and this was obviously established long before you made plans, right? So why do some people feel that it's all about sex???

I guess for me it's hard to explain to someone who's knew to all this what it is how it is how it feels why you like it etc ...

I think those like you and I, for whom tickling can be either sexual or non-sexual, are the lucky ones. We can enjoy it more often and on more levels. There are plenty of folks out there for whom it's totally a sexual thing. Because they don't want to get sexual with everyone it limits the choices they have in play partners. I guess it's all in how we learned to love it in the first place. I'll play with anyone with whom I'm comfortable and have a degree of friendship already established. But, it's only sexual with my hubby.

Yeah!

Yeah! What she said! 😕

If folks get together to go dancing, or even to head to the gym or hike or whatever, it's not a big deal, it's just group participation in enjoyable physical activity. But let people get together for tickling and we're all freaks to be burned at the stake. Is it because tickling tends to cause arousal that it's automatically related to sexual activity?

And while we're at it, as I'd mentioned in a different thread, why is a fully-clothed, unrestrained adult simply being tickled considered "sexual content" by mainsteam when there's nothing sexual actually happening??

(Not trying to step on your point, ITF, you just opened the worm-can that's been puzzling me as well! )

Thanks ... I couldn't have said it better myself!

Of course it's not always sexual. When I tickle my classmates or my younger sister, it's just a normal day-to-day activity, nothing sexual about it.

However, if I'm alone with a girl I like, and if one of us is restrained, than for me it has to be sexual, no matter how you look at it.

This thread seems to need a male point of view or two, as I think there may be a gender difference at work here...

My guess is that the vast majority of us who have a tickling "fetish," for lack of a better word, do get sexually aroused by tickling. In my case, that means that if tickling occurs, sexual arousal follows, meaning, yes, I will be unhappy if I cannot follow through.

The reason I think there may be a gender difference, and I could be wrong, is that I think men and women react to different stimuli in different ways. It's the whole, "why can't we just cuddle?" debate all over again. Men never want to JUST cuddle. Similarly, and I can't speak for anyone other than myself here, but I suspect that men never want to JUST tickle...

Then, I could be wrong.

All of that said, I agree with Mistress Aura's point that there is no reason that, say, a video with fully clothed adults tickling each other should be considered sexual and banned as such. I find it very frustrating when YouTube does this, considering that 90 percent of the people on there probably don't get aroused by watching it. There was this GREAT video on there once with these three 20-something girls gang tickling this guy...it was awesome, one was the dominant ringleader instructing the others to hold him down so she could get him. But no one was naked and it wasn't meant to be a fetish video. I really wish I would've downloaded that before it got booted.

That about sums it up for me. There are times when i could just tickle someone for the fun of it. I can switch off the sexual connection to a degree.
But like Redscript said. On my own with a girl, things will be a lot different. Thats sexual to me then.

 

[InsnlyTklshF]

Thanks to all of you for taking the time and letting me know your thoughts ... I have another question: When a tickler is doing a video let's say FT or TIB or a number of ticklers who tickle woman ... Do they get turned on by tickling, and or do they ya know have sex with these woman or how could they not do more?

I ask this not for me. It's a question for someone else. I know the "tickling" world again he's new to this. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

I can easily seperate sexual thoughts with tickling.

 

[mrmiguu]

No...

It's not all about sex.

 

[minerva]

Tickling basically IS a turn on for me. Still it all depends on the circumstances, which places on my body are tickled and how they are tickled and of course who is tickling me.

 

[Em Es]

It's all good

While I only like tickle play with females, it does not have to lead to sex. Tickling, like all forms of touch, can communicate more than one sentiment.

 

[badreligion]

yes it does ... lol im just playing

honestly it depends

i personally dont like bein tickled by guys

but if im bein tickled by a girl i like then yea its a turn on

however if the girl is just a friend i consider it more fun and playful

 

[the wiz]

My wife and I been having this discussion for the last 15 years or so, she sees tickling as being totally sex driven. Me being naive i look at tickling as being no more the pure fun. Much like I did when I was a kid, I try to explain that tickling for me is not sexually, unless I’m tickling her. But, it falls on deaf ears. Go figure LMAO

Now, feet on the other end is sexual to me

 

[Iwant2Btickled]

I tend to agree that I could separate the 2 feelings. I don't think I'd be turned on by an innocent tickling by someone that I'm friends with or that I don't necessarily have a physical or emotional attraction to...now, there are a few people that I think I'd have a hard time not getting turned on by if they were to even put their hands on me, but other than that... if its just innocent tickling and no touching of the "special" places... i think it would be ok...

 

[TickledToDeath]

Not always about the sex at all although could be a turn on depending on the LERs and the intent thereof.

Always fun! Always intense! The more intense the better! 😛oke3:

[crydun]

It is very sexual for me. I'm turned on by the sensation of the touch itself, not just the person giving it to me. Though, if it's a cute guy, that can happen too. And, if I"m attracted to a guy, I can't stop thinking about tickling/being tickled by them much like some vanilla people can't stop thinking about "jumping their bones"

It does turn me on to see tickling, but I've learned to put that in the back burner. If I had someone who was not ticklish and I feel for her, I'd still be with her.

This somes it up for me. If there is already an attraction of some sort, then tickling, or any form of touching for that matter, would, of course, enhance that.

If I don't have those feelings to start with, as with friends, family etc, then tickling just becomes a fun thing and not sexual at all.

 

[totally_evil]

Its always a huge turn on for me, whether I'm being tickled by my sister, my dad or anyone else. Because I've been tickled so much by people who don't even know tickling can be a fetish I've learnt to hide my arousal if need be and to cope without getting anything more.

It completely different with my bf when we both get aroused and I know I can get satisfaction during/after.

I've also done sessions with people who also have this fetish, and we both get very turned on, but we leave it at fully clothed tickling, he's satisfied because he's got something he usually can't get, and I'm satisfied for the same reason (my bf is a ler, I'm a switch).

The feelings are the same, it just depends on the situation as to how I deal with it and what I can expect therefore want to have.

 

[ShadowTklr]

For me, tickling is inherently erotic when done with someone outside of my family. It doesn't mean that sex must follow, but it does mean that it is a titillating activity, and as such, spurs arousing feelings.

 

[tickles]

depends on the relationship I have with the person..... a child?....certainly not a turn on........husband....may or may not...

 

[EvenSteven]

For me there is not really any thought of enjoying tickling outside of a sexual context. Whenever a woman even says the word "tickle" it excites me right to the core. To me, this means that it is a fetish of mine so i might as well face it.

Is tickling all about SEX????

Not always.

Very (and I mean very) simplistically speaking, there are three categories with me. Times when tickling is incorporated with someone I'm intimately involved with, where it's most definitely sexual. Times (at gatherings for instance) when it's more or less completely non-sexual and with individuals I consider friends. And, the ever popular gray areas, with individuals I'm not necessarily involved with, but still have something lurking under the surface when we're around each other.
